Please help <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Get a good deck to start with make sure it has 3 preouts ( I perfer Alpine), then some good sounding 6.5 inch speakers (MTX 6001 coaxs sound GREAT for the money) for the front doors, there are no 6X9 provisions in this truck, as for the rears I would stick with stock ones as you really dont hear them and you should never sit in the back of your own truck. then get a dual 10 inch box for under the rear seat, get some inexpensive subs (MTX 5500's would rock in this application) and then get a solid 4 channel amp to run bridged to the subs and stereo to the fronts (MTX 3404 would do nicely), keep the rears off the new deck you just bought. Make sure you go overkill on the power wire and have them run 3 2 channel RCA cables for upgrades later. Then when you come up with some extra cash buy them rears for the passengers and run them off the 4 channel amp and get a bigger sub amp for the 10 inch subs! that is what I would do, your chioce your money! If you want to come to Des Moines we have it all in stock and I can get it done in a day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast4popper Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 OR OR OR, you could buy the amps that I have for sale and save a HUGE amount of cash. they are MTX blue thunders. that I had powder coated red! I have a 4 channel, 2-2 channels and a HUGE 2 channel. I will do all 4 amps for 450 shipped! lets make a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I had two 12's in my SS under the seat and it sounded ok, shook everything like crazy which sucked. I now have a MTX thunderform single sub set-up and like it a lot, i was amazed at one MTX 10" sub could do. As for the other stuff fast4popper seems to be on the right track. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBadSSS Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Q-Logic makes a sweet custom box for underneath the back bench in extended cab silverados. It's actually 3 pieces, a 10" sub box on each side of the tranny tunnel hump and then an amp rack that connects the two box and goes over the hump. Crutchfield.com sells them, you should check them out. As for system components, you can't go wrong with Audiobahn! For the price, they're products are outstanding (amps, subs and full range speakers) plus you can get sick deals on their products from reputable resellers on ebay, just do a search! Good luck with your system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Dont get Q-logic, they use particle board. If you put something in there that pounds it will tear it apart in no time. Unles they changed it but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big10Fan Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 http://www.cardomain.com/sku/JBLGTO6011II that will power a www.reaudio.com SE10 http://www.cardomain.com/sku/JBLGTO752II will power these: http://www.cardomain.com/sku/POLDB6500 try to find an alpine 9831 somewhere for around $275 (its last yrs model, reg $400 receiver) all your install accessories are going to cost $250-300 plus $150 for a box(which you cant buy until you know what the SE10 requires for air space.) to buy RE stuff you must contact them directly, their stuff owns though. thats about $1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynss Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 so for you car install guys, have you had any luck with a jl w7 in the back without taking the seat out or cutting? i have the w3v2s, but just for a moment thought, i wonder if a w7 would fit. maybe even a w6v2. thanks.

Without raising the seat up or getting rid of it all together, your limits are about a sub with a 5-6" depth. My advice is r-type alpine, they have a redesign this year with 30% more excursion and 40% more power handling then last year... and the old style one kick ass, so these should be really good(just got them in the store, haven't had a chance to try them out yet). Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only benefit is that u can run less drivers to get the same spl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
